Bronchiectasis was predominantly recorded in the left lower lobe (LLL) (73%), followed by the right lower lobe (RLL) (62%) and the left upper lobe (LUL) was least common (22%). Females recorded the right middle lobe (RML) affected significantly more often than males (50 vs. 34%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.012). Bilateral involvement was common (74%), with the strongest pairwise correlation associated between the right upper lobe (RUL) and LUL (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Cylindrical (50%) and cystic (28%) types were most common. The RML and LLL showed positive correlation with cylindrical and LUL with cystic bronchiectasis. Neither lobar location nor bronchiectasis type showed any significant association with lung function parameters other than RML, Lingula and LUL involvement being associated with better percent predicted values of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. There were no significant associations between sputum culture and type or lobar locations of bronchiectasis except for non\u2010<jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic> fungus culture prevalence was higher with cystic or cylindrical types.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of this study may be an avenue to develop CT bronchiectasis severity scale in the future specific for Aboriginal Australians.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1754-9485.13671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,12]],"date-time":"2024-06-12T09:05:42Z","timestamp":1718183142000},"page":"545-552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Chest computed tomography findings among adult Aboriginal Australians with bronchiectasis in the Top End Northern Territory of Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"68","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0788-7137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Subash Shanthakumar","family":"Heraganahally","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Royal Darwin Hospital  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"},{"name":"Flinders University College of Medicine and Public Health  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"},{"name":"Darwin Respiratory and Sleep Health Darwin Private Hospital  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3028-0376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timothy","family":"Howarth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Darwin Respiratory and Sleep Health Darwin Private Hospital  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"},{"name":"Department of Technical Physics University of Eastern Finland  Kuopio North Savo Finland"},{"name":"Diagnostic Imaging Center Kuopio University Hospital  Kuopio North Savo Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Gibbs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine Royal Darwin Hospital  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"},{"name":"Flinders University College of Medicine and Public Health  Darwin Northern Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4130-3668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanjana","family":"Heraganahally","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine and Dentistry James Cook University  Townsville Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5470-1118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Sorger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integral Diagnostics  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Apex Radiology  Mandurah Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/COPD.S6133"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12890-018-0638-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573398X19666221212164215"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjresp-2023-001738"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","first-page":"328","article-title":"Bronchiectasis in the Maori","volume":"57","author":"Hinds JR","year":"1958","journal-title":"N Z Med J"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00026313"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201309-1575OC"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-17085-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/1817-1737.82443"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-016-2599-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10122736"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2016.10.055"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","unstructured":"GaillardF WeerakkodyY BabaYet\u00a0al.Bronchiectasis.
